You’ve walked along the Bay and its wetlands. You’ve breathed in its beauty.
But the Bay and the wetlands aren’t just beautiful—they’re essential.
Our wetlands clean the water—removing pollution, heavy metals, and toxins. Shoreline plants and soils store more carbon than even tropical rainforests. And tidal marshes like these absorb the wave energy from storm surges and tidal floods.
But all of this is at risk.
The constant development of new housing and warehouses near the wetlands destroys habitats and threatens the area’s biodiversity. It kills so many animals that depend on the wetlands, which in turn kills the wetlands.
Will they protect wetlands? Or pave them over?
Their choices will shape our entire Bay—and our lives—for decades
Climate change can feel overwhelming. But right now, we actually have power.
This is our chance to protect the Bay, its wildlife, and our communities.
Join us. Speak up. Show our leaders that we care. Together—we can keep the San Francisco Bay alive.
If you agree with us, please send these elected officials a message that expresses your concern with saving the wetlands.Sending your message once will send it to all of them. Please consider adding your own personal text as well.
Thank you!
